Only if Nvidia is better, will I buy from them. I tend to go more Ati way, just because I am so satisfied with them. Talk about a unlock and overclock to a X850XT! Still creams 7600GT....
 
The best 2nd to the best video card would be the x1900XT, since it outperforms the 7900GT a fair bit. But then again, it does cost $100 more.
 
Nvida. I had an ATI card which i had some problems with, and their customer service is just plain terrible. Returned it for an Nvidia, and I haven;t regretted it once.

Whats wrong with 9000 vs 8500 ... (its the 8500 for people who dont know) ... who assumed that a bigger model number meant better? ;)

i don't assume that, but i wish it was like that... things would be alot easier...

I use both for differant reasons, for my home server/file storage i use Quadro 4 FX3000 256MB AGP 2xDVI-I, and for my main pc on the network (gaming pc) i am currently using an ATI x800.

For gaming i will stick with with ati but for server/network point access i will stick with the quadro seeries of cards.

I prefer Nvidia. In fact i have two of them and they use the same set of drivers. The one ATI card i did have didn't lase 3 mounths before it went out.

funny, becuase i bet someone somewhere thinks ATI is better because once upon a time they had a bad Nvidia card:rolleyes:

wow... unless i am in an illusion i always thought the ATI Radeon X850XT was AMAZING for its price, more so than any other card for the price...

Personally I've always been a Nvidia man, but about 18 months ago I bought Ati's 9800Pro. This period of time has shown me just how great Ati's drivers are, they are rock solid and I love them! But this time I'm thinking about getting myself a 6600GT or a 6800GT. As we all know the #1 bang for buck brand change over time and today it seems to be in Nvidia's favour. :)

NVIDIA: ATI sucks i have had nothing but horrible experiences with them.

i am guessing you are translating one bad ATI card into bad experiences

Skizzor said:
both but if i had to choose i would pick Nvidia just because I have used them before.
Click to expand...
that would be a good reason to try ATI...


when i was noobish (and many of you might say i still am) i voted ATI... but i have never bought an ATI card or a Nvidia card... i use a Nvidia card, but this computer is kinda like a handmedown... i really didn't have a choice... if i had a decent $1000 to buy a computer i would get a X850XT because i think that is a crazy nice bang for the buck... yet if i had $2000 to buy a computer, i would get the 7900GTX... they both make great cards, they both make terrible cards, they both make excepencive cards, the both make cheap cards, they both have well priced cards, the both have not-so-well priced cards...
personally i think they are both even

I really wish that people would know what they are talking about before they say which one they think is better. I voted Nvidia, because that is what, in my noobish mind, i saw as better. I use both an fx5200 and an ATI Rage mobile, and the ATI has actually done better in my opinion (not in performance, mind you, but in stability) If I were to get a new card, which I am not going to, it would probably be a 6800GT. But that doesn't mean that I wouldn't buy ATI.

I have gotten over my fanboyism

NVIDIA ROCKS, ATI SUCKS
 
I have only had ATI, so i wouldnt know how good Nvidia is. WHo knows whats better. Its like saying wahts better, chevy, or ford, depends what model etc. But we all know Chevy is better :P
 
encore4more, i said that a LONG time ago before i really knew what i was talking about. Please dont bring up such old posts.
 
I've Had both, ATI i think yuo can get more for your money but ATI drivers are shitty, NVidia is very easybut they are both good card wise.
